Hi Oriol, I do still have this interview on my phone if you'd like to make
use of it.  Just let me know.  I can upload it to my own youtube site for
now if you'd like to see it.

Agreed.  I really like the look of the site in terms of the theme.  Looking
forward to seeing it evolve :)

One idea that might or might not be useful to you.  I've found that as you
get more involved in KDE activities it becomes increasingly difficult to
find time to write about what you're actually doing.  Others out there,
especially those writing code or doing sysadmin type duties, may feel the
same and might already have a hard time just getting around to blogging, let
alone finding time to write even more stuff for sites like the Dot or the
one you're setting up.  So it may be worth considering syndication as an
option where if you know there are certain people who write stuff that fits
the type of articles you want, you could consider using a plugin to allow
them to syndicate particular articles to your site when they fit your
criteria.  That way it can still go to Planet KDE for all the people already
reading that, but then also to your site for those people who don't want to
keep up with all the planet traffic, but may be interested in more selective
pieces like the ones you're aggregating.
